	As stated by [[Otto Chriek]], Überwalds' scenery is psychotropic: If you say something ~~portentus~~ like "zer dark eyes of zer mind", there would be a sudden crash of thunder, and if you point at a castle on a towering crag and say "Yonder is ... ''zer castle''", a wolf would howl mournfully...

	'''Überwald''' is a huge mountainous region of wintry climate that is the Disc's answer to (fictional) Transylvania, as in, a land populated almost entirely by horror tropes. It was ~~one~~ a part of the [[Evil Empire]] (along with smaller states [[Borogravia]], [[Zlobenia]] and [[Mouldavia]]). The ruling nobility of the land is composed of feudal [[werewolves\|werewolf]] and [[vampires\|vampire]] families. Lately, the [[dwarfs]] have also come into power. There are many [[trolls]] in the distant mountains, warring against the dwarfs, but in cities such as [[Bonk]], trolls are considered semi-sentient slaves. Humans are still mostly in the roles of "townspeople" or "exploited citizens". Most [[Igor\|Igors]] come from Überwald, where they traditionally serve those on the far side of sanity, using the excellent local lightning for their experiments. Überwaldean is said to be a good cursing language. The principal town/capital in Überwald is the twin cities of [[Bonk]]-[[Schmaltzberg]].

	In the 1931 film version of Stoker's ''Dracula'', Van Helsing reflects:- "According to van Helsing, the Count must indeed have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land. If it be so, then was he no common man: for in that time, and for centuries after, he was spoken of as the cleverest and the most cunning, as well as the bravest of the sons of the '''''land beyond the forest'''''"		In the 1931 film version of Stoker's ''Dracula'', Van Helsing reflects:- "According to van Helsing, the Count must indeed have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land.

	Human Überwald tends largely to reflect Southern Germany (Bavaria), Switzerland, and those less martial associations with Austria. (The countries of Borogravia and Zlobenia appear to reflect Imperial Austro-Hungary taken up to eleven). Hungary and Romania, with their rich folklore, add a dash of exotic colour. A distinct Russian flavour appears in Far Überwald, with a Russian-like language using a "Cyrillic" alphabet.
